Forest ecosystems with long-lasting human imprints can emerge worldwide as outcomes of land-use cessation. However, the interaction of these anthropogenic legacies with climate change impacts on forests is not well understood. Here, we set out how anthropogenic land-use legacies that persist in forest properties, following alterations in forest distribution, structure, and composition, can interac

The risk of decline due to climate change varies among different tree species, resulting in both winners and losers. However, quantifying the risk of species decline remains a challenging task, particularly due to regional variability in the rate of climate change. Additionally, the diverse evolutionary histories of species have resulted in a variety of distributions, forms, and functions, leading

När världen blir osäkrare krävs ett ökat säkerhetsarbete i Sverige, inklusive inom forsknings- och innovationssektorn. Men hur påverkar det vår konkurrenskraft, vår forskning och dess internationella samarbeten? VI måste se till att forskarsamhället förblir öppet i sund balans mellan öppenhet och säkerhet, skriver Tommy Shih, docent på Lunds universitet och Stefan Östlund, vicerektor på KTH.

Risken att vi i Norden hamnar i en internationell konflikt har ökat. Kriget i Ukraina har pågått i över tre år, och hotet att Ryssland kan komma att attackera andra närliggande länder är närvarande. Samtidigt visar Kina och USA tydligt att deras nationella intressen prioriteras.

Climate change loss and damage research and policy includes biodiversity loss as a non-economic loss and damage. Yet there is scant understanding of what is loss and damage in tropical fisheries and how it is measured. We conduct the first systematic review of loss and damage in fisheries. The study uses a qualitative interpretivist values–based lens to examine fishers’ intrinsic, instrumental, an

Dynamic susceptibility contrast magnetic resonance imaging (DSC-MRI) is the most common MRI method in clinical environments for assessment of perfusion-related parameters. In this study, special emphasis was placed on the shape of the tissue residue function under different physiological conditions. DSC-MRI-based parameters assumed to reflect arterial delay and cerebral oxygen extraction were obta

In this paper, we aim to contribute to an enhanced theoretical ground for Universal Design (UD) by examining the concept of “inclusion”, presenting a conceptual critique of it based on our research on categorisation and UD, and proposing a way forward. This study is based on a comprehensive analysis of a range of photographs related to inclusion and exclusion collected during five recent research

186 countries have ratified The Convention on Rights of People with Disabilities (CRPD) since 2006. Sweden ratified the CRPD in 2008, Denmark in 2009, and Norway in 2013. In the context of the United Nations, the concept of Universal Design (UD) introduced in the CRPD is new. Previously, accessibility was the dominant concept. By ratifying the CRPD, these three countries have agreed to initiate or

Background: For breast cancer staging, radiolabeled colloids and superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIONs) are used for sentinel lymph node (SLN) imaging. This study characterized the intranodal activity distribution and absorbed dose distribution. Material and Methods: Six patients diagnosed with primary breast cancer were intradermally injected with 99mTc-Nanocoll. The SLNs were resect

With the growing possibilities in genetic testing, the number of genetic disorders associated with dystonia has constantly increased over the last few years. Accurate phenotyping is crucial to guide and interpret genetic analyses in the search for an etiological diagnosis. Although eye movements examination has proven a valuable tool in the assessment of patients with inherited movement disorders

OBJECTIVE: To explore temporal changes in incidence of major psychiatric disorders across sociodemographic subgroups in Sweden.METHODS: This population-based open cohort study included all individuals born during 1958-1994 and residing in Sweden at any time during 2004-2019. We identified psychiatric disorders registered in inpatient and outpatient specialist care. We calculated person-years from
